Position Purge (PA302)

Run Position Purge (PA302) to purge position information. This information includes positions, user fields, and position history.

This program does not delete employee records.

Caution: 
This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this program, back up your data according to your organization's procedures. Before you submit the report, carefully review the parameters.

Processing Effect

Position records are purged according to their effective dates. If an effective date does not fall within the dates you enter, those records are not purged.

A position record cannot be purged if the record is currently used by

  • an open requisition,
  • an employee with no end date on the position record, or
  • a current action that changes position fields.

You can create a comma-separated value (CSV) file that contains the purged information. This information can be reloaded with PA502 (Position Conversion).
